Hey, thanks.

How did we do tonight?

Oh, you know.

Five, six, seven...

This ain't no way

to make a living anymore.

Watch it.

Looks like you had a rough night.

You look pretty lonely,

sitting there all beat up.

You don't have to worry about a thing.

I'm gonna take you to junk heaven.

Oh, my God.

It's not as bad as it looks, Dad.

A door is ajar.

You should've sold out, Michelle,

when your dad died.

Look, what if we just cut it in half?

- Five thousand?

- I'm sorry, Michelle, but it's business.

At this rate, you'll be out of business

by the end of the summer.

All your suppliers have

you on a cash basis.

- There is no...

- Thanks for your time, Mr. Fleming.

Hi.

- Hi.

- How are you today?

Fine.

Thanks for helping me out last night.

- It's okay.

- Really.

- Okay.

- I mean it.

Look, I'll see you.

That's a big thermometer.

Yup.

- You want it?

- No.

No, no, no, come on, take it.

They're giving them away free.

Great.

You know, I've always been interested

in the weather.

I bet.

Smooth, Pearson.

The weather?

Duh.

- Dad?

- I'll be right out.

February, 4720.

That's up a dollar three.

February pork bellies up 187

at 6127.

December five came up 47

at 6267.

Farm report is brought to you hourly

Your one stop store

Back to our musical programming.

Dad, I'm sorry about your car.

You know, a father loaning his car,

his first Cadillac, to his son,

now, that's not just a father loaning

any car to his son.

That's a father loaning a symbol

of his success,

achievement and victories to his son

and saying:

"Here, you take this Cadillac

and you drive it proudly

up the road of your dreams."

But, for chrissake,

don't park the son of a b*tch

in the middle of a goddamn stream.

You understand what I'm getting at?

I think you're telling me you don't want

me to drive your Cadillac anymore.

I think we understand each other.

Damn it! You turd.

Thought you were gonna

swim to Bora Bora.

Ran out of air.

See any mermaids?

Just catfish.

And I'm so sick of catfish.

How am I gonna be

the next Jacques Cousteau

if I'm sitting in a cornfield?

Still haven't told

your old man yet, huh?

Gotta tell him you're gonna

turn down the scholarship.

Tell him in your valedictory address,

that would really fry his mind.

Ladies and gentlemen,

fellow students, distinguished guests.

Today is a very special day.

Today is a day unlike any other day.

Today is the day

where we wave hello with one hand

and wave goodbye

with the other hand.

Dinner's on the table.

Thank you, Dad.

- Looks good.

- Oh, thanks.

- What's wrong with you?

- Nothing.

What's wrong with you?
